SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of intelligent
wireless solutions, announced today that it started shipping its
machine-to-machine (M2M) Enabler® HS 3001 modules to Capstone Metering,
LLC, a Texas-based technology company. The module will be part of the
award-winning IntelliH2O® water meter solution by
Capstone and is among the first smart water meter solutions to include
cellular capabilities in the meter providing connectivity over Verizon

solution that fully integrates with the suite of IntelliH2O®
meters. The application may be accessed via desktop, laptop, tablet or
smartphone and offers an industry-leading suite of features including
management of the IntelliH2O® devices with a few
clicks, remote on/off of the device and monitoring/alerting capabilities.
"We are excited to be working with Capstone and bring cellular
capabilities to strengthen their award-winning smart water meter
solution," says Joe Peterson, VP of Sales for Novatel Wireless M2M
Business Unit. "Adding cellular capabilities to IntelliH2O®
meters will enhance communications providing information, analytics and
effective water management. We are proud to be selected as a partner and
be a part of Capstone's innovative solution for water conservation."
"By adding an Enabler module directly into the IntelliH2O®
